Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alrighty, so.. I'm Slander. I do a bunch of colouring, a little bit of drawing and line editing, and a lot of the boring parts of running the shop. I'm also the more vocal part of the shop, so if the mule is talking it's probably me (I don't always remember to format my text). Oh, and I'm also a big giant jerk and a stickler for the rules.

As for myself, I'm the sort of Jack-of-all-Trades type. I'm a scientist, an artist, a photographer, a graphic and web designer, a computer tech-savvy geek/salesperson, and an amateur birder. I also store obscene amounts of nearly-pointless knowledge deep within the caverns of my brainmeats, and have an unfortunate habit of knowing just enough about something to sound like I know more than I do.

I live with Jaeger in a nice big house with a ridiculous amount of animals. I have a ridiculous amount of responsibilities, a small zoo to take care of, work full-time and somehow still manage to make time for video games and the internet.

I like chai, chili, sushi, matcha, butter chicken, and rum. Dark rum.

I joined Gaia in '03, bought a few donation items, and then managed to completely forget that it existed for well over a year. Went back, found out I was suddenly rich through no effort of my own, and tried to figure out where the hell I could fit in amongst all the terrifying young folks. For the most part, I just lurked and played dress-up with my avatar.

I also tend to be a bit wordy at times.
And I love the biggrin face. And xD

Hi I'm Orasteele! I've been a member on Gaia since June 2003 and been with breedables before there was a breedables forum. Shops I have been with include: The Winged Pard Aviary (now closed), Verlashi Clan Grounds (also closed), Rinanci , Gryphons of Derkholm, and The Clow. I'm only just returning from an extended hiatus from Gaia while I was switching jobs.

In real life I'm 2004 graduate of Texas A&M University (WHOOP!) with a major in Maritime Studies. A degree that I do absolutely nothing with. I worked at a law firm for one year after college before returning to my passion of working with Arabian Horses. I have been in that industry for over 6 years and have never had any regrets unlike the law firm. I only recently changed barns and now am working with world renowned Egyptian Arabian Bloodlines at a breeding facility. I couldn't ask to be in a better place. Needless to say I work full time. xd

Britain and I have been together for almost 7 years now. And last year we built our house, which we share with Ogre and another friend from college. I have 2 miniature dachshunds, 4 cats, and a cockatiel.

I tend to be extremely shy about posting, but I am working on getting over this. ^_^;;

Why hello there! My name is Adrian, I'm a 17 year old slacker! I can't get a job, people don't like my long jew hair I guess, I'm still in highschool but I get shitty grades. Not because I'm stupid, but because I tend to elude homework, this has worked all throughout my years in school, I'd always somehow make it up, or get the teachers to like me enough to pass. But I'm particularly worried this year! Oh joy! Munin (my sentinel) is the very first breedable I've ever purchased. I've always been into roleplaying and have had a lot of accounts on gaia ever since around 7th or 8th grade year, can't remember when exactly, so we'll just say '03. I've been off and in the community. In real life, I'm a jerk, a horrible horrible jerk that doesn't know how to shut his mouth. I make a lot of people uncomfortable but the few people that are close enough to be to be considered friends find me hilarious...except for the girls, most of the time. I have a habit of making really bad puns, (facebook, LOL.) I like spicy things, and I hate seperating my ideas in paragraphs. If you ask me to do it, I might give you the finger, or I might bow down to you and give you my fakest smile, depending on how miserable you can make my life. I'm a computer tech who has a Net+ and an A+ certification, and yet my computer is ALWAYS broken. Thanks, Tawfik. I recently abandoned WoW over the summer, but with the new patch I've (begrudgingly) picked up my rogue again. I'm a PVPer, not an RPer. I've tried roleplaying on WoW, it just never works. If I ever make it to college, I'll probably end up majoring in theology. I have a huge interest in the theological practices of the world around me, culture fascinates me.

Hai all, b/c resident mint here. >w< I've been a active member on GAIA since Septemer 2006. I've been in the breedables most of my time spend on gaia, but I do stray to other forums such as Writing Contests and Lifestyle areas. I've never really worked in a shop, but I'm working on it now that I have a tablet and Photoshop CS (Thank you Ora!).

I absolutely adore the ">w<" face. I use it quite a bit~ I'm a fairly friendly person, don't be afraid of me. ' 3 ' I don't bite! I'm also very hard to get pissed off...

As of real life, I'm a sophomore in a local high school in Texas. Which sucks...still, but two more years and I'll be out of there! >=D <3 I go to A-kon in Dallas yearly, so throw me a PM if you go and would like to meet up some time~ I've met ELF, Kip, Sabin, Kamiki and some other people who the names of evade me...We had a great time last year and I'm looking forward to it again. =D <33

P.S. Ora needs to post more. ;D

Hi everyone, I'm 'Lioness' mostly to people who don't know my name. XD I've been on Gaia since June 10, 2006 (I started on another account.) Haven't been on long compared to most of you. I started out not knowing anything about the breedables section of Gaia (more obssessed with the Warriors series and horses - and still am, more with horses though than the books), and not knowing anything about how to 'get' gold except through the Daily Chance. As for MCs, my parents won't let me buy them with currency.. so I'm stuck with Daily Chance. I'm still learning, anyways, how to sell stuff.

Anyways.. I'm still in middle school (I'm so young compared to you all sweatdrop ), have a sister in high school who used to go on Gaia but doesn't anymore, was lured to Gaia by one of my friends.

I used to have madly-breeding budgies, but they're all gone or given away now. =/ I also had fish, just the 'normal' kind - these little silver/blue/red/sort of glowing fish, and some other common fishies. I also had a crayfish that lived for about a year or two, my aunt gave her to me. I also had two males that lived for about a day and then died. But my female had about at least.. 50 or 60 little crayfish. Maybe more, maybe less - it sure seemed like a lot! When I first saw them I was so freaked out.. But they're all gone now, and only one baby crayfish is still alive, at my friend's house. I hope it lives to adult-size and doesn't die like all of mine did, suddenly and all at once. =/
Now my adopted family consists of a 3-year old Australian Shepherd male, Buddy. -hugs Buddy-
Buddy: -squirms-

Hey all I'm Snow. I've been on gaia since November 15th, 2004. Before my 2 year hiatus I mostly did fantasy rps in the guilds with my friends. When I returned about mid August this year I decided to look into breedables further since all my old rp haunts had died and I was no longer interested in them. Except for one which is only half dead...>.> Anyway, I managed to acquire a good deal of not only pets, but friends as well now that I'm in a rather popular community. I don't rp as much, but I still love rping. But with the pets it's different so I'm still getting use to that.

As for me in real life. I am 20 years old. I'm currently living with my ex boyfriend. I'm also pregnant with his kid, a little girl whom I've named Hadley. I'm already madly in love with my unborn daughter. Anyway, she's expected to arrive sometime in February. That will eat up my free time. Along with the job I'm trying to get and I'm also planning to start college next year. I'm going to a tech school that has massage therapy so that I can get a career in under a year so that I can support myself and my daughter because I plan to move out. I'm just going to say that I would prefer not to be judged in my choices. I've made my bed and I'm going to sleep in it as the saying goes.

I use to run a rodentry which later became a rattery. If you don't know what either of those are then I'll tell you. A rodentry is a place that breeds different kinds of rodents. A rattery breeds just rats. My friend and I ran the NBSW Rodentry and Rescue. We bred rats, hamseters, and gerbils. We also rescued on a minor scale and rehomed them. Eventually we closed it. We didn't have the time for it. When I moved to where I am now I started "the Zoo" project which was a rattery and rescue (also on minor scale). I bred pet and show quality rats. I didn't have a specific color I bred for, but I only bred dumbo's. All where healthy. I didn't breed a rat that wasn't. Anyway, that closed down when I became pregnant.

As for pets that I have now. I have three cats. Two live with me. Sacha and Ming. Sacha is a imperfect nebelung and is going to be 2 years old 2/14/08. Ming is a purebred siamese who is 4.5 months old and will be a year next 4th of July. Taz lives at my parents. He is going to be 8 next year and is a massive main coon mix that is the devil incarnate. But he loves me. The last pet I have is a 1.5 year old female cinnamon-face lovebird named Kia. She and I need to work on our relationship still...>.>

Anyway, sorry for typing so much, but I guess I was just in a sharing mood. -nods- Feel free to pm me questions or just to chat anytime.

Hey, I'm Mirokarosu. Miro for short, since I don't like people misspelling my name (in RL too...) Yeah, so I joined Gaia on some December '03. Like a bunch of other people, I gave up and came back in around '06ish. Yes, and I gave alway all my items from '03, hahaha.... Besides, I was too young to actually understand inflation and being a packrat. Anyways, it means that I'm just one of those poor people on Gaia who have never had more than like a few thousandish-k on hand. I can't save gold either, since I keep buying more things. Usually art or breedables, and I don't splurge on random items...Heh.

Well... Let's see how else I can make this as long as all the ones above this. In the rift of no-Gaia, I actually went into RP'ing. I was literate, obviously, but I had to be like, the lamest, most cliched RP'er to ever live. It was on some random forums like Proboards and those other sites. I got hooked on HTML and made some sites until I got lazy with it. Then I had one of those oh-remember-*insert virtual pet site here* moments and flocked over there. Anyways, I came back to Gaia after that and stopped RP'ing and virtual pet obsessing. I've done some part-time jobs as colourists on some B/C threads, also done banners and certs, and I also joint art with some of my RL friends on the RC subforums. I would say I wasn't very good, but then that would be just to make you guys reassure me that I am decent. So I won't say that, I'll just say that I'm not as competent as a whole lot of other people who can have art auctions that go up to like, 214912347932 mill gold. I have Photoshop CSII and a tablet. ;D

That's basically my online life in a nutshell. I'm one of those people who don't disclose their RL info a lot, hahaha... I can say that I'm not as old as you college/U guys, I'm still in secondary/high school. I don't have a job, and I don't have a licence. My marks are okay, I'd like them to be higher (but everyone does, so that's not really a fact about me). I think I have too much homework, but probably not as much as you guys. I live in EST (curse you west coasters...) and up in Canada where I have the secret identity of being a polar bear in disguise (no, I'm joking).

I play video games, I adore my DS and my Wii. Trauma Centre is my current fandom. I used to watch anime like some crazed japo-freak, but now I don't. I read doujin or manga every two months or so...;;;; Let's see, I also like reading, I am a HP fan (lol...) and mostly fantasy genre things, though I think I'm outgrowing it (*gasp*). I envy people with the skills to draw animals in cartoon form (like these owls), I also envy realism/real media artists. I do like people who are courteous and literate. Err...I like emoticons like ;D or something, but I absolutely DESPISE those emoticons that automatically come up on MSN. Lastly, a fun fact... I actually DID read Guardians of Ga'Hoole. xDDD

Nobody's posted in this thread for a while, but I say what the heck, I'll go ahead and introduce myself.

I'm Kiara Adachi, known around most of the internet as such. Call me Kiara :] I'm 15, a sophomore in High School, and an animal lover. Although I can't have all the pets I would like, I do have a very large German Shepherd(My dream dog <3) Named Thor. My mom also has a Pug named Bull.

I live in Missouri. Or, Misery, as I call it. I love anime and manga, and have an obsession with roleplaying and wolves. And wolf roleplaying. Hm. Yeah.

Been on gaia since early '04. Never really played though, until a little over a year ago. It's quite sad, actually. :'[
